The GMRT Software Backend (GSB)
is available on a regular basis
for use alongside the hardware correlator. GSB provides the same observing modes
that have been enabled on the hardware correlator. The interferometric GSB
raw data (recorded in the lta format) has to be converted into FITS format
using special programmes. Till these programmes are available on the same
platform as those for the hardware correlator, we request the users to consult
the telescope operators before they leave GMRT. The telescope operators will
help convert their GSB raw data into FITS format which they can then carry with them.
